Outlook 2003 error message about an old copy of the .OST file

Outlook 2003 is using an old copy of your offline folder file (.ost). Exit
outlook, delete the .ost file, and restart Outlook. A new file will be
automatically created the next time you initiate a send/receive.

Outlook 2003 with SP2 is installed on a laptop (Win XP SP2) and configured
for Cached Exchange mode.

Whenever I delete the existing OST file (located in C:\Documents and
Settings\username) and point Outlook to the location that I want the new OST
file to be created, it works for approx 1 week.
